What clients say about working with Julie

It’s been a genuine pleasure having Julie Dickerson on my team as Senior Project Manager. From the outset she brought a level of drive, structure, and professionalism that immediately raised the bar across our technology function.

Julie combines deep methodological expertise with the pragmatism needed to make it work in a fast-paced ecommerce environment. She introduced and embedded agile ways of working across the team, not as a rigid framework but as a genuinely useful operating model, and built out the documentation and reporting standards that have given us real visibility over our delivery.

Beyond process, Julie has been instrumental in delivering some of our most complex programmes, including our ZigZag returns platform, Customs Warehouse project, and AWS migration. Each involved multiple internal stakeholders, third-party vendors, and tight commercial timelines, and in every case she navigated the complexity with calm authority and got us over the line.

What really sets Julie apart is her motivation. She owns problems, brings energy into the room, and lifts the people around her. Any organisation would be fortunate to have her.

Julie has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the years. Having worked with her across two different sectors — travel and e-commerce — I’ve consistently been impressed by the depth of her knowledge, experience, and pragmatic approach to project management and programme delivery.

Julie brings a calm, solutions-focused mindset to every challenge and has been a fantastic mentor to team members at all levels. During a major conversion rate optimisation project, she championed a strong data-first approach that helped deliver excellent results, while also ensuring the wider team clearly understood priorities, solutions, and deliverables throughout the process.

Her transparency, professionalism, and approachable nature make her an invaluable asset to any business. I would highly recommend Julie to any organisation looking for a strong, thoughtful, and highly capable consultant.

Working with Julie is a breath of fresh air and she was one of the main reasons we shipped as much as we did as smoothly as we did. Julie has exceptional ability in managing timelines, stakeholders and deliverables and always ensured that the tech team had (or could get its hands on very quickly) everything it needed to be successful which, as a Head of Technology, is immeasurably useful.

Julie is proactive with her problem solving and constructive in her feedback. She earnt the trust and respect of everyone around her with her honesty and transparency and never left any stone unturned in helping to move the business forward. She’s an excellent leader and one I would love to work with again should the opportunity arise.

Julie is an absolute marvel, able to turn complex projects into robust plans with simple clear tasks. In a fast-paced, high-growth environment like Holiday Extras, and working with a variety of external, often difficult clients, she consistently stood out as one of the most reliable, organised, and solutions-driven people I’ve ever met.

Whether she was coordinating cross-functional teams, managing tight deadlines, or navigating shifting priorities, she handled it all with calm confidence, a genuinely collaborative yet no-nonsense approach and an unmistakable good humour.

Her communication skills are of course exceptional. She keeps stakeholders updated, removes blockers before they become problems, and creates a sense of momentum that makes even the most challenging projects feel achievable.

I can’t recommend Julie highly enough. She’ll elevate any team, project or organisation she works with.

I had the pleasure of working with Julie Dickerson for many years during my time at Holiday Extras, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can help deliver a project properly, professionally and without unnecessary complication.

Julie was always a calm, positive and highly capable presence. She had a brilliant ability to look at a situation clearly, cut through the noise, and help people understand exactly what needed to happen next. She was instrumental in supporting key API integrations for the Merlin Entertainments Resort Hotels, as well as wider integration work across the core Holiday Extras business.

What always stood out about Julie was her balance of professionalism, honesty and approachability. She could keep a project moving, challenge where needed, and make sure people stayed focused, all without ever making things feel overmanaged. She tells it how it is, but always in a way that helps the people around her do better and move forward.

Julie was a hugely positive influence during my time at Holiday Extras. She was reliable, sensible, great to work with, and always brought a good sense of humour and personality to the team. Although our careers have taken us in different directions since leaving Holiday Extras, we have stayed in touch, which I think says a lot about the kind of person she is.

If you have a project that needs delivering on time, within budget, and with clear communication throughout, Julie is absolutely someone you want involved.
